CONCORD, N.H. -- More than 25 protesters turned out before a Tea Party Express rally this evening to protest not President Obama, but Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
“We do not need leadership that puts their finger up, sees which way the wind’s blowing and then all of a sudden changes their mind and goes back in that direction,” Tim Carter, a leader of the Lakes Region Tea Party in New Hampshire. “If you look at Mitt’s past voting record, I think that’s what you’re going to see.”
“When you come to less government, which the Tea Party stands for, how could you possibly explain that with Romneycare?” Carter said. “It doesn’t even compute. “
The FreedomWorks rally was held before the larger Tea Party Express rally, where Romney was scheduled to speak. FreedomWorks had been active with the Tea Party Express, but pulled its staff member off the Express bus to protest Romney’s inclusion in today’s event. After holding the anti-Romney rally, it urged participants to join the Express event, held in the same place.

That may be true. But 25 people is not impressive.
I don’t think he’s that bad. I won’t vote for him in a primary, but in the general he’s probably better than anyone the GOP’s run in the past 50 years except for Reagan and Goldwater.
The fact that someone that good is the worst choice (I don’t include Huntsman as a real candidate) is actually kind of great.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
So was Reagan - so maybe you should leave that argument behind
Perry switched parties over 20 years ago. Reagan was a Democrat until 1962. He was the party nominee 18 years later.
By your reckoning Reagan was too recently a Democrat and should've been defeated.
The Boston Globe closes with their own opinion, disguised as a quote from someone else.
I agree with you. Both Mitt & Ricardo’s records are atrocious. If anything Perry might be the bigger fraud of the two.
No DIDs 2012 (Democrats in Drag).
Mirth is toast!
